Background:
OLLAA has received a report from a credible source regarding 176 persons who have been arbitrarily detained in Goro Dola Worada Police Station in East Guji Zone, Oromia since 2020.
It has been reported that many of these detainees were never given a reason for their arrest and detention. Of those who were given a reason for their arrest, several were arrested due to suspicion that they were connected with “Shane” (the term the Ethiopian government frequently uses to refer to the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA)), or because they had family members who were connected with Shane. Our source has reported that it is common practice for persons to be arrested en masse by police as a source of income via bribes, although it is unclear if any of these individuals were arrested for that purpose. Since their arrest, these individuals have not been brought before a court of law, have continued to be held without charges, and have been denied the opportunity to challenge the lawfulness of their continued detention.
OLLAA calls on the Ethiopian government to cease its practice of arbitrary arrests and detentions, and to immediately release all prisoners who have been unlawfully detained. The international community must also respond decisively to these allegations, including by considering launching independent investigations into these detentions, publicly condemning the Ethiopian government’s practice of arbitrarily arresting and detaining civilians, and by pressing the Ethiopian government to release these 176 detainees, as well as all other Ethiopians who have been unlawfully detained.
Analysis of Data:
The list of 176 detainees (reproduced in full at the end of this report) was provided to OLLAA by a credible source with connections to the local government. The individuals included in this list were arrested at various points throughout 2020 and continue to be detained to this day.
According to our source, the vast majority (99) of the detainees were never provided a reason for their arrest and continued detention.
Several of the individuals on this list were detained based on allegations that they were, in some way, connected to “Shane.” Interestingly, only 10 individuals are listed as having been arrested for being an active member of Shane, being in the presence of Shane, or planning to join Shane. A few were arrested for providing material assistance to Shane, including giving them food, providing transport services, and giving them information and/or spying. 4 people were arrested for supporting Shane on Facebook. In one stunning example, Abdusalam Mohammad Balli, a 28-year-old man from the West Shewa zone, was reportedly arrested for making a phone call to unidentified persons the police believed were “against the government”.
Another worrying trend seen in this list was the fact that 34 of the detained individuals were arrested for having family who were members of Shane, or because their family members were “suspected” of being members of Shane, rather than having any ties to the OLA themselves. In one case, Shandhure Nagessa Chana was arrested for simply being friends with a person associated with Shane (Cause of Arrest: “Iyasu’s friend”).
The remaining 18 individuals were arrested because of the “Analysis of woreda council”. According to our contacts on the ground, this refers to the Woreda Security Council, a group composed of the Woreda Administrator, Deputy Administrator, the Head of the Woreda Administration and Security Office, and the Woreda Police Commander. Apparently, police will arrest individuals at their command, and will record the reason for their arrest as “xinxala mana maree,” thereby categorizing the individuals in question as a threat to national security. Similarly, our sources report that there is a classification of crime known as “Haala yeroo” which translates roughly into, “A crime of insecurity times”. If someone’s reason for arrest is recorded as “haala yeroo”, our sources allege that the judiciary will not consider the legality of their arrest or detention. It is unclear if any of the 176 individuals in this case were arrested under the “haala yeroo” classification.
While the majority of the detainees range from ages 18-50, 25 of the detainees are minors, with the youngest three being just 14 years old. In the majority of these cases, the reason for their arrest has not been given. In one case, Falmatu Karjuli Morma, a 14-year-old girl from Guji zone, was arrested “For being Karjuli’s daughter.” Similarly, Umar Hama Adola, a 16-year-old boy, was arrested for being “Sadam’s brother.” The 3 oldest detainees are in their 60s. Nagessa Machawa Guyye (65) and Dhekkole Balli Chana (60) were both arrested because their children had been associated with Shane, while the oldest detainee, Waree Odo Areri (67), has not been given a reason for his detention.
None of these detainees have been brought before the court since their arrest or formally charged with a crime. They have also not been granted the opportunity to petition the court for their release.
Legal Standards:
International human rights law sets out that the right to liberty protects citizens from arbitrary arrest and detentions, which are arrests and detentions that are not in accordance with the procedures established by law. The Ethiopian Constitution enshrines the right to liberty under Article 17, which states, “no one shall be deprived of his or her liberty except on such grounds and in accordance with such procedures as established by law”, and that, “No person may be subjected to arbitrary arrest, and no person may be detained without a charge or conviction against him.”
Persons who have been arrested or detained have the right to information, including the right to be notified of the reasons for their arrest, and to be informed promptly of any charges against them. They also have the right to the assistance of legal counsel, which begins as soon as they are deprived of their liberty. They have the right of access to the outside world, including to their family, lawyers, a judicial official, and to health care. Those who have been arrested or detained must be brought promptly before a judge or court, so that the judge can rule on the lawfulness of their arrest or detention. Finally, all persons deprived of their liberty have the right to challenge the lawfulness of their detention before a court of law.
These rights are similarly protected under the Ethiopian Constitution. Article 19, on the Rights of Persons Arrested, prescribes that:
- Persons arrested have the right to be informed promptly, in a language they understand, of the reasons for their arrest and of any charge against them.
- Persons arrested have the right to remain silent. Upon arrest, they have the right to be informed promptly, in a language they understand, that any statement they make may be used as evidence against them in court.
- Persons arrested have the right to be brought before a court within 48 hours of their arrest. Such time shall not include the time reasonably required for the journey from the place of arrest to the court. On appearing before a court, they have the right to be given prompt and specific explanation of the reasons for their arrest due to the alleged crime committed.
- All persons have an inalienable right to petition the court to order their physical release where the arresting police officer or the law enforcer fails to bring them before a court within the prescribed time and to provide reasons for their arrest. Where the interest of justice requires, the court may order the arrested person to remain in custody or, when requested, remand him for a time strictly required to carry out the necessary investigation. In determining the additional time necessary for investigation, the court shall ensure that the responsible law enforcement authorities carry out the investigation respecting the arrested person’s right to a speedy trial.
Article 21, on the Rights of Persons Held in Custody and Convicted Prisoners, sets out that:
- All persons held in custody and persons imprisoned upon conviction and sentencing have the right to treatment respecting their human dignity.
- All persons shall have the opportunity to communicate with, and to be visited by, their spouses or partners, close relatives, friends, religious councillors, medical doctors and their legal counsel.
As noted by the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, in Deliberation No. 9 concerning the definition and scope of arbitrary deprivation of liberty under customary international law, “The prohibition of arbitrary deprivation of liberty and the right of anyone deprived of his or her liberty to bring proceedings before a court in order to challenge the legality of the detention, known in some jurisdictions as habeas corpus, are non-derogable under both treaty law and customary international law.” This means that unlawful detentions cannot be found to be a “necessary or proportionate measure” taken by a government in order to protect a vital interest, such as national security.
Ethiopia is also a party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which provides for additional measure to protect the rights of children in detention under Article 37, which, among other standards, provides that:
(b) No child shall be deprived of his or her liberty unlawfully or arbitrarily. The arrest, detention or imprisonment of a child shall be in conformity with the law and shall be used only as a measure of last resort and for the shortest appropriate period of time;
Conclusions:
Under both international human rights standards and the Ethiopian constitution, it seems clear that the Ethiopian government and its officials have arbitrarily detained these 176 individuals. None of the detainees were brought before a court of law within 48 hours of their arrest, as prescribed by Ethiopian law, and to this day many have never learned the reason for their arrest and continued detention. As of this time, none of these people have been formally charged with a crime. Nor have any of the detainees had the opportunity to petition the court to order their release. In addition, the continued detention of minors as young as 14 is of particular concern, given the special regard for their best interests as prescribed by the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The Ethiopian government and its officials have thus actively violated the rights of these detainees, and must act with the utmost haste to remedy these violations, including by immediately releasing these 176 individuals. The authorities must investigate these cases, and all alleged cases of arbitrary arrests and detention throughout Ethiopia, and hold all actors who are responsible for these violations accountable. The government must also take active measures to enact policies and procedures that ensure that its citizens will not be subjected to further arbitrary arrests and detentions.
OLLAA also calls on the international community not to stand idly by as the Ethiopian government allows its civilians to be detained without charges for months, or even years, on end. The international community should consider launching independent investigations into these allegations, and publicly condemn the Ethiopian government’s practice of arbitrarily arresting and detaining civilians. The international community should also press the Ethiopian government to immediately release these 176 detainees, and all others who have been unlawfully detained.
